About ReCaptcha JS Alert
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
A lightweight WordPress plugin providing the [recaptcha-js-alert] shortcode which may be used to display a notification text box if JavaScript required by reCAPTCHA is being blocked.
Next to the notification message text and the delay allowing to load the reCAPTCHA JavaScript code, the plugin offers configuration of background and foreground color, as well as the font size. Further customization can be achieved by means of custom CSS snippets.
The shortcode allows its configuration being overridden by the following parameters:
message: The notification message textstyle: Custom CSS for displaying the message textdelay: The delay (in milliseconds) allowing the reCAPTCHA JavaScript code to load
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/recaptcha-js-alertdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Use the Settings->ReCaptcha JS Alert screen to configure the plugin.
Frequently asked questions
Does ReCaptcha JS Alert support multilingual sites?
Yes, it does. A corresponding wpml-config.xml language configuration file can be found in the plugin’s home directory.
I would like the notification text box being displayed differently. Would that be possible?
Sure. Additional CSS code may be entered into the Custom CSS input field in the configuration screen of the plugin. In order to completely overrride the generated CSS, the shortcode’s style parameter may be used.
The message box shows up even though no JavaScript is being blocked and the __reCAPTCHA__ challenge also shows up correctly.
Make sure the browser is allowed to access google.com and gstatic.com as reCAPTCHA requires to load its code from these domains. Also make sure the delay specified in the plugin settings under Wait for reCAPTCHA or by the delay shortcode parameter is big enough to allow the reCAPTCHA JavaScript code to load. If the delay is too short, the plugin cannot find the corresponding page elements and thinks that loading the JavaScript code was blocked.
